Gene expression levels by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of ASCs. Expression of FOXF1 (A), vWF (B), VEGFR1 (C), CD31 (D), and CD105 (E) in ASCs at passage two from both IHD patients (n = 7) and healthy donors (n = 7) in serum-deprived medium or VEGF stimulation medium. The expression of a gene is shown as fold change compared to expression of the same gene in ASCs from the same donor in complete medium, and has been calculated by the ∆∆Cq-method. Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to complete medium is shown by * above the column, while a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the different weeks of culture is shown by §. ASCs; Adipose-derived stromal cells, IHD; ischemic heart disease, FOXF1; Forkhead box protein F1, vWF; von Willebrand factor, VEGFR1; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1, CD; Cluster of differentiation.
